Cheap liquor is a magic potion that can turn you into a puppet cowboy before it kills you.

I mean, the death in the late eighties and early nineties really shook out a lot of hacks. The pond just sort of dried up for a lot of really bad comedians.

Any acting job that I ever got, I always treated it like I was a neophyte, I didn't know what I was doing and I was going to work just as hard as I do on my stand-up.

I've gotten very cynical and kind of anhedonic about all the things I have to do to get to do comedy: all the travel, hotels, and airports.

I want to experience as many different tastes, sights, emotions, conflicts, and cultures as possible, so that I can expand the canvas of my memory and enrich my comedy.

If you play comedic scenes like they're really serious, then it's so much more funny than if you're going for a laugh.

I identify myself as a stand-up first. Even though lately there's been an explosion of acting on my schedule.
